Okay, yeah. We’ve heard it before, and I think maybe most of us are tired of the band that cried wolf. But there’s something about this announcement about an upcoming announcement that has my attention: David Coverdale.
In addition to being the singer for Whitesnake, Coverdale has also recorded and toured with Led Zep’s Jimmy Page. The fact that they have a relationship adds some amount of credibility. Also, the fact that Page, John Paul JonesJason Bonham and all have expressed a passionate desire to tour leads me to a theory. It’s out the box, but not beyond the realm of possibility. Hear me out, okay?
To date, the big sticking point in a full blown Zeppelin tour has been Robert Plant. What if the rest of the band decided to hit the road WITHOUT Plant? What if they’ve decided they can pull this off with Coverdale as their singer? I definitely think he has the range to pull it off, and with that much money at stake, (In U.S. dollars it’s around $489 million, with about $20 million apiece for the band members), it would just be ignorant NOT to do the tour.
Bet your ass I’ve got my ear to the grindstone on this one!
Any thoughts?
